“Nutrition Exam I Sample
Questions Answers"

Editors Note:
After spending time in prayer to the Lord Jesus to help me study for the
exam, I have prepared my own sample exam multiple choice questions and
fill in the blanks in anticipation of the real exam. I wanted to share
them with you all on this site to help you study if you think it would
be helpful. If you do not know what each term in the multiple choice
means, I would go over those terms. Use the glossary in our textbook to
help you study including the chapters. Some of the terms do not exist.
Also ask yourself why a certain choice cannot be the right choice. If
you do not pick an answer there should be a reason why. If you do not
know the reason, I would study about those terms/concepts if they
exist.

I do not know if the real exam will be easier than the one I prepared
to help me study or if it will be harder. I wrote 50 multiple choice
questions for the five chapters. These questions do not cover all the
material in the notes or textbook but are a good way to study material
you do not know the correct answer to!

Remember, our test does need a bit of memorization since that’s the only
way we can get the fill in the blanks right so I would approach the
multiple choice questions as fill in the blanks first. If you don’t know
the answer, then look at the choices and try to figure out the answer.
Have your notes and textbook ready! I do hope it helps you all to study!
Take this sample exam in test conditions and see how well you will do
and where you need to brush up on!
